About me:

OTAKU PLAY is available

"Serious play represents a feature of any otaku's activity. Basically you play, but you do it with the greatest dedication, seriousness and interest. We don't want to be the prisoners of the industries that bet on our ability as playful mammals, but we desire to know them and explore their limits. Otaku PLAY explores the universe of players and play of all kinds. How and when you play. What you learn while playing and where do you risk arriving when you remain blocked within the same play."

OTAKU KAIDAN
KAIDAN is the term used for the Japanese ghost stories, and, extensively, for the J-Horror culture. The Buddhist moralizing stories were rapidly transformed into international shockers; people wanted more frightening monstrosities and oddness, with no direct connection with the Western horror. Manga, anime, movies and the subcultures developed around them competed in shicks and panic. If you really want to know why on the Japanese horror movies is written 18+, take a look at the next issue of Otaku Magazine. Nevertheless, is our duty to warn you that all who looked inside certain pages of this issue have disappeared shortly after. Still, it might be just a story to send the children to sleep for good.

CREATURES ATTACK!

CODE RED – creatures are attacking from allover!

The attack isn’t coming from the outer space. The revue Otaku Magazine provides protection and free crossing for all the creatures INVADING Ro, Japan, Germany, Argentina, France, U.S.A., Australia, Spain, The Netherlands, UK etc. Regardless the continent or origin country, all creatures are permitted to pass freely. No matter if they have several eyes or only one; tentacles, legs, cilia or hairy hands with claws, we should already know them by name. They are looked for by the collectors, designers, otakus and by other groupies who lurk them in the street, in stores, on the shelves and in catalogues and magazines specialized in the reproduction, taming and raising of characters.

Furthermore, right now we are the only ones to ensure within a magazine’s pages an existence unpolluted by advertising and spam, cancer-like for any kind of creature, human or not.
